description A series of 20 wt.% MO<sub>2</sub>/S catalysts (where M = Ce, Mn or Zr and S = SiO<sub>2</sub> or Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>) were prepared using various precursors of the active phases. The resulting catalysts were characterized using different methods (XRD, TPR and S<sub>BET</sub>). For the first time, anhydrides were used as potential starting materials for ketone synthesis. This novel reaction was performed on various aliphatic anhydrides in the presence of catalysts within a temperature range of 523–723 K. For all anhydrides, except for pivalic anhydride, the appropriate ketones were obtained with good or very good yields. The vapor-phase catalytic ketonization of esters of benzene-1,x-dicarboxylic acids (x = 2, 3 or 4) with acetic acid were studied in the range of 673–723 K in order to obtain 1,x-diacetylbenzenes. Their yields strongly increased with an increase in the x value (0, 8 and 43% for x = 2, 3 and 4, respectively). The presence of acetophenone as a side product was always noted. In the case of ω-phenylalkanoic acids, their vapor-phase ketonization with acetic acid led to the formation of appropriate ketones with 47–49% yields. Much lower yields of ketones (3–19%) were obtained for acids and ethyl esters containing heterocycle substituents (with O or S atoms) and/or vinyl groups. In the reaction between ethyl 4-nitrophenylacetate and acetic acid, only the products of ester decomposition (<i>p</i>-toluidine and <i>p</i>-nitrotoluene) were determined.
